This coin was kept in a specimen set case with blue velvet lining until I bought the lot on ebay 2015/16.

Did you notice the crack in the rim above the queen. Not so proof.

Beautiful toning, TerryT! In addition to the crack, I see there was a misaligned die. Is that common on proof coins?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Great looking cent!

No specimen (proof) coins were minted in 1957, so it must be a proof-like.

Very nice coin, but I do agree with johnnysprawl it is a PL-proof like so PL-66 I think it has too many little marks to make 67
